Bebe Rexha drops the F-bomb as she goes off on crowd after audience fails to sing along to her song Meant To Be during performance

Bebe Rexha went off on her own audience when they didn't sing along to her smash hit song, Meant To Be, at Spotify's pre-Grammy party on Thursday.

When the crowd of music industry players didn't sing it back to her at Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, she went ballistic, f-bombs included, according to AP.

'This song was No. 1 for 50 (expletive) weeks,' the singer, 29, said after telling her band to stop the performance. 'I work too (expletive) hard for this (expletive), OK?'

Rexha then looked over to her mom and said, 'My mom is like "please calm down." I love you mom. I'm calming down.'

'I worked too hard for this moment. I'm from Staten Island, New York, and I'm standing on this stage right here,' yelled 29-year-old Rexha, who co-wrote Eminem and Rihanna's Grammy-winning 2013 hit, The Monster.

'You're going to sing the (expletive) words if you know the (expletive) song.'

Meant to Be set a record last year when it spent a historic 50 consecutive weeks at the top of Billboard's Hot country songs chart. It peaked at No. 2 on the all-genre Hot 100 chart and is nominated for best country duo/group performance at Sunday's Grammys, giving Florida Georgia Line their first-ever Grammy nomination.

Rexha's second try at the song included more crowd participation. Other singers had an easier time Thursday night.

British singer Dua Lipa kicked off the multi-hour event with upbeat hits such as New Rules and IDGAF, getting some of the audience members to dance; Margo Price, who is six months pregnant, strummed her guitar and sang passionately; and fans rushed to the stage for English singer Jorja Smith, who had a lounge-y feel.

Chloe x Halle, who sang America the Beautiful at Super Bowl 53, was top-notch alongside a 10-piece band as they ran through songs from their major-label debut album, The Kids Are Alright. It's nominated for best urban contemporary album, for which they will compete with their mentor Beyonce.
